The length of the hypotenuse is 15 feet if the legs of a right triangle measure 9 feet and 12 feet.
It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.
As we know the according to Pythagoras theorem:
[tex]\rm Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2+Base^2[/tex]
Let Perpendicular = 12 feet, base = 9 feet
[tex]\rm Hypotenuse^2 = 12^2+9^2[/tex]
hypotenuse = √225 = 15 feet
Thus, the length of the hypotenuse is 15 feet if the legs of a right triangle measure 9 feet and 12 feet.
